Quote from Free Thinker:
If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.
Quote from Free Thinker:
if god is all knowing shouldnt his book be filled with all the knowledge in the world?
the bible lectures people on what to wear and what to eat but it lacks a simple command that has caused millons of unwanted deaths. "thou shalt boil the water". why? because germs were not a concept the ignorant men who wrote the bible understood.

Quote from peilthetraveler:
Also, if the bible gave you complex answers about microbes and cells and hyper galactic warp engines, then you would no longer have a choice of whether to believe or not. You would have too much evidence to deny it. God gives us a choice and gives us free will and the ability to think free, Free thinker.
